Awesome donut place! The worker Tony really hooked it up with amazing glazed donuts. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming I will be back.

They had some of the best glazed donuts I've ever had! The cashier at the front was very kind and accommodated me with my crazy sandwich request. The staff make the environment very inviting and the store reminds me of my childhood.

This place has the best donuts ever! They're not overly sweet and the flavor is great, doesn't matter which donut you get because they're all good! The service is amazing and the owners are very sweet. My favorite donuts are the glazed, jelly filled and apple fritter ones.

Nice little shop. The donuts are really good and super cheap. Not too much sugar and fluffy. Breakfast sandwiches are tasty, fresh, filling, and perfect size for the cost. I'm not a coffee person but the options looked good and prices are cheap.

Needed a new regular spot for brek on my return to the Bay. Found it straight away. Delicious donuts, hefty hot sandwiches, and reasonable prices. Have visited twice in the three days since I found Francis. I'll be going again tomorrow.

Best Donuts ever

I discovered them in 2015, when I was pregnant with my 3rd son and my 2nd son was attending Montessori around the corner and it has been my go-to donut place ever since. Best donuts in the area, IMHO. Great people, simple, and absolutely how good donuts should taste. 10/10 recommend.

Very nice folks and quick service. I was caught off guard by the mayo in my croissant sandwich (in their defense, it’s listed as an ingredient on the menu). Overall great place for donuts

Jeffery Perry

Love this small doughnut shop. Great selection and great quality! Plus, great options for breakfast sandwiches and more too! Friendly team... definitely a mom and pop operation!

Tony makes the. best. donuts. in. town. The cake donuts are light and tender, and the raised have a nice bite without being chewy. WAAAAAAY better than Lloyd's.Fantastic (and cheap!) breakfast sandwiches too. Love love love the #29 turkey, egg & cheese croissant. TRUST me on this one.
